Roberts Farm Shop | Pumpkin Patch
I was already as proud as a pumpkin this season because so many farms have converted to using the lightweight cornstarch film for their businesses. But seeing this photo, what an image! Taken by @robertsfarnshop who will be getting their pumpkins ready for picking, any day now.
Bean and Gone
Thank you lovely allotment for providing us with an absolute abundance of tomatoes, courgettes, cabbage, sweetcorn, chard, berries and beans. We have been harvesting, composting and getting ready to cover our un-used beds with mulch for winter protection.
Power up your Pumkins
We copy what the larger growers do and use the biodegradable Lightweight Cornstarch Film for our pumpkin patch. It can be rolled out by hand as well as machine laid and the results each season are so satisfying. The film maintains its mulching efficacy for no less than four - six months and no more than nine - twelve months, depending on moisture, soil activity and other variables. But what we can say for sure, is that this film works perfectly for growing pumpkins!
